Module 01 - Fixtures

Put the season in once.Then stop retyping it.

Fixtures are the spine of the app. Every other module reads from them, and every person in the club reads the same dates.

What it does

The season, dated and shared

A fixture in Athra is a record, not a calendar entry. It carries the team it belongs to, the date and the opposition, and it is the object that availability answers attach to, that a squad gets selected against, and that the match record is written on afterwards.

Because it is one record, the club stops maintaining parallel copies. There is no spreadsheet for the coaches, a second one for the fixtures secretary and a group chat message that contradicts both. When a fixture moves, it moves for everyone who can see it.

Who it serves

Clubs and schools, the same way

Clubs

Every age grade in one club

A club running junior sides and a senior team keeps them all in one place. Each team has its own season, and the committee sees the whole club without opening seven documents.

  • Age grades
  • Senior sides

Schools

Every squad in one programme

A school sport programme has the same shape: several squads, one set of staff, and parents who need to know where their child is on a Saturday. The fixture list is the answer to that question.

  • Squads
  • Staff
  • Parents

Capabilities

What is in the module today

Season

One dated season, every team

Fixtures are held against the team, not against a person, so an age grade and a senior side can run their own seasons inside the same club without two systems.

  • Per team
  • Whole club

Everyone

The same list for all seven roles

Owner, admin, head coach, assistant coach, physio, player and parent all reach the fixtures tab. Nobody has to be told what is on this weekend, and nobody reads a different version of it.

  • Fixtures tab
  • Home screen

Match day

The fixture is the front door

Availability, the selection board, the team sheet and the match record all hang off a fixture. Open the match, and the work for that match is in one place rather than four.

  • Availability
  • Selection
  • Team sheet
  • Match record

Notifications

A notification that lands somewhere

Fixture notifications open the fixture they are about rather than dropping people on a home screen, and every person controls what they are notified about from their own settings.

  • Deep links
  • Per person settings

Being straight about the edges: fixtures themselves are sport-agnostic and always have been. It is the selection board that currently knows two sports, rugby and netball. A fixture list runs the same way whichever sport is on it.
